Granada sales director named as BBC Euro TV sales VP
BBC Worldwide has appointed Granada International sales director Tim Mutimer as senior vice-president of global TV sales for Europe. He will take over the role later this summer.
Mutimer will be handle for sales for all rights windows, the period of time a broadcaster can use a show, across the region, including TV, digital and DVD. He will oversee a team of 65 staff with office in London, Paris and Cologne.
His appointment is part of a strengthening of the division’s senior global TV sales team ahead of an “ambitious” new phase of growth. It has also appointed Joyce Yeung, who has the same role in Asia, and Paul Telegdy, as executive vice-president across the Americas.
Steve MacCallister, the managing director of global TV sales, says: “EMEA is the cornerstone of our distribution business and critical to our global growth, with many long standing relationships across the region in programme sales, format sales and co production.”
Mutimer has been at Granada International for the past eight years in a variety roles. He has also held sales roles at Scottish Media Group International and Routledge.
